"Everything I have ever made is a reflection of the supreme sense of wonder I feel when confronted with the natural world. It is an endless reservoir of possibility. I want my voice to highlight the hidden messages that sometimes get left behind in a society so tumultuous and beautiful and terrible and loud. We have a lot to learn from the plants and animals that we share this planet with. I want to explore these messages through prints and drawings." --Nicole Richards, Detroit, Michigan.
